My invention relates to tables especially of the kitchen-dinette type.

An object of my invention is to provide a table which can be madeintegrally in one piece of metal, substantially completely by a singlecold extrusion and which is extremely thin-walled, light weight, highlycorrosion resistant, resilient, adequately strong, durable, economicaland Whose top is rigid.

Other objects and advantages become apparent as the descriptionproceeds.

I attain these objects by the structure illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing which is a perspective View of the table.

The table consists of a rectangular tube I whose opposite ends are open,which has an axis 6 (indicated by the double headed arrow), which has ahorizontal top wall It of a length and width suitable for use as atable, two side walls 3 and 9 of a height suitable as the height for atable, and whose thin bottom Wall 5 lies without interference flat on afloor on which the table may rest. The rectangular tube I also comprisesa horizontal sheet 9 close to the horizontal top wall I3 and coextensivewith said top wall I3. The side edges of horizontal sheet 9 are formedintegrally with the side walls 3 and 8. The rectangular tube I alsocomprises a plurality of vertical sheets II and oblique sheets II] whichextend coaxially with the axis 6 of the rectangular tube I and which areinterposed between the horizontal wall I3 and the horizontal sheet 9 andwhose top and bottom edges are formed integrally with the horizontal topwall I3 and horizontal sheet 9 respectively and whose side edges aresubstantially coterminous with the horizontal top wall I3 and thehorizontal sheet 9 along the opposite open ends of the rectangular tubel. The top horizontal Wall I3, the horizontal sheet 9, the plurality ofcoaxially extending vertical sheets II and oblique sheets I0 and theportion of the side walls 3 and 8 interposed between top horizontal wallI3 and horizontal sheet 9 altogether combine to form an integralassemblage of the total elements of a triangular truss constructioncoextensive with the top horizontal wall I3 substantially as illustratedin my perspective drawing, which makes for a rigid table top.

The rectangular tube I also comprises triangle-forming metal sheetbraces 2, 4, I and I2 in its four corners, which braces extend from oneopen end of said rectangular tube I to the opposite end of latter tubeI.

The rectangular tube I, horizontal sheet 9,

JSYTATES PATENT TOIFLFMIE v I said plurality of vertical sheets I I andoblique sheets I0 and said four triangle-forming braces 2, 4, I and I2altogether being integral elements of the table formed in one piece ofmetal and being preferably extremely thin. This table is adapted to bemade entirely by a single cold extrusion completely except for roundingand smoothing of all the edges at both open ends of the rectangular tubeI.

I claim:

1. A table comprising a substantially rectangular seamless integral tubewhose opposite ends are open, the horizontal top wall of said tube beingof a length and width suitable for use as a table top, the vertical sidewalls of said tube being of a height suitable as the height for a table,said tube having a horizontal seamless integral sheet substantiallycoextensive with said horizontal top wall of said tube, positioned belowand close to said horizontal top wall, opposite edges of said horizontalsheet being formed integrally with said vertical side walls of saidtube; said tube also comprising a plurality of sheets extendingcoaxially in relation to the axis of said rectangular tube interposedbetween said horizontal top wall and said horizontal sheet, extendingfrom said horizontal top wall to said horizontal sheet, whose top andbottom edges are formed integrally with said horizontal top wall andsaid horizontal sheet respectively, and whose side edges aresubstantially coterminous with the side edges of said horizontal topwall and said horizontal sheet along said opposite open ends of saidrectangular tube; said top horizontal wall, said horizontal sheet, saidplurality of coaxially extending sheets and the portion of said sidewalls interposed between said horizontal top wall and said horizontalsheet altogether combining to form an integral assemblage of the totalelements of a triangular truss construction substantially coextensivewith said horizontal top wall substantially as described; saidrectangular tube, said horizontal sheet and said plurality of coaxiallyextending sheets being integral elements of said table.

2. A table as set forth in claim 1, which comprises triangle-formingsheet braces in the four corners of said rectangular tube formedintegrally with said tube substantially as described; said bracesextending substantially from one open end of said tube to the oppositeopen end of said tube.

3. A table as set forth in claim 1, which comprises a pair oftriangle-forming sheet braces in its two bottom corners substantially asdescribed; said braces extending from one open end Number Name Date ofsaid tube to the opposite open end of said 1,133,804 Kaufman Mar. 30,1915 tube. 1,357,050 Hathorne Oct. 26, 1920 SAMUEL VICTOR, 1,380,042Cook May 31, 1921 Now by Judical Change of Name Sam Women 5 1,587,933Barme June 8, 1926 Sam. 1,797,717 Coates Mar. 24, 1931 1,819,254 MantleAug. 18, 1931 REFERENCES CITED 1,391,740 Westerman Dec. 20, 1932 Thefollowing references are of record in the OTHER REFERENCES file of thispatent:
